The
Story
Get
ready for the biggest event in VeggieTales history -- the first
feature-length film showcasing the characters you love, as well
as some new friends that will take you on the adventure of a lifetime!
The action begins on a moonlit night when a van of singing Veggies
encounter some unexpected trouble. After a heated battle with
a clothesline, a pair of boxer shorts and, yes, porcupines, Bob
the Tomato and the veggie kids find themselves at an old, rundown
seafood joint where nothing is quite as it seems.
Here
they encounter "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything,"
the laziest bunch of scalawags and biggest root beer consumers
to never sail
the Seven Seas. As Bob and the kids settle in to wait for a tow
truck to help get their van back on the road, these curious Pirates
share a little story about a guy named Jonah. As the story begins,
we are transported to another time and place, where society moves
a bit slower than in today's times.
Now
Jonah is kind of like a mailman -- except his
messages came straight from God! Jonah loves his job, until the
day comes when he has to deliver a message to the people of Nineveh.
You see, Jonah hates the Ninevites. They aren't very nice and
worst of all, they slap people with fishes! Instead of carrying
out his mission, Jonah turns and sets sail in the opposite direction
onboard a pirate ship.
From the hold of this vessel, where he meets Khalil, a chatty
carpet salesman who just happens to be a caterpillar, to the belly
of a whale where he meets -- whoops! We can't tell you who he
meets there -- to the heart of Nineveh for a hilarious showdown,
Jonah goes on an adventure none of them (including the whale)
will soon forget! And everyone will learn that one of the best
gifts you can give (or get) is a second chance.
This
eye-popping animated film will be in theatres on October 4, and
is brought to you by Big Idea Productions, the creators of the
wildly popular CGI video series, VeggieTales!
